Suppose that a new detection tool is introduced starting in week 3 and that from week 3 onwards, each fake bill has a 1 in 3 chance of being detected at each transaction. In this case, what is the totalexpected number of times that the fake bills are successfully used in transactions without being detected? Suppose that a group of illegal counterfeiters print 1,000 copies of fake $20 bills and introduces them into theeconomy. Suppose that each bill is used once per week (starting in week 1), and that each time a bill is used, ithas a 1 in 5 chance of being detected as fake. If it is detected, it is removed. If not, it is used again.

According to one survey taken a few years ago, 32% of American households have attempted to reduce their long-distance phone bills by switching long-distance companies. Suppose that business researchers want to test to determine if this figure is still accurate today by taking a new survey of 85 American households who have tried to reduce their long-distance bills. Suppose further that of these 85 households, 25% say they have tried to reduce their bills by switching long-distance companies. Is this result enough evidence to state that a significantly different proportion of American households are trying to reduce long-distance bills by switching companies? Let α = .01. Appendix A Statistical Tables (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) The value of the test statistic is enter the value of the test statistic and we choose between reject and fail to reject the null hypothesis
Suppose insurance agency services customers who have both a homeowner’s policy and an automobile policy. For each type of policy, a deductible amount must be specified. For an automobile policy, the choices are TZS100 and TZS250, whereas for a homeowner’s policy, the choices are 0, TZS100, and TZS200. Suppose also that an individual is selected at random from the agency’s files. Let X = his deductible amount on the auto policy and Y = his deductible amount on the homeowner’s policy (a) What are the possible (X, Y) pairs?

3) You might remember my Police Officer friend Steven from an example in Chapter 8. Well, in a rare turn of events, he asked me to return a favor using Statistics. He showed me the following data about Traffic Accidents at the intersection of Ankeny Boulevard and 1" street: Day of Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday the Week Number 23 18 17 19 23 26 21 of Accidents Now, he wanted me to use my “Mathemagic" to tell him whether there was agy connection between what day it is and the number of Traffic accidents at this intersection, since his boss wants to change his shifts to accommodate. In particular, I knew this meant to test the claim that there are the same number of accidents each day of the week. Run this test using a significance level of 0.05.
John Allen Paulos has pointed out a problem with massive, untargeted wiretaps. To illustrate the problem, he sup-poses that one out of every million Americans has terrorist ties. Furthermore, he supposes that the terrorist profile is 99% accu-rate, so that if a person has terrorist ties, the profile will pick them up 99% of the time, and if the person does not have ter-rorist ties, the profile will accidentally pick them up only 1% of the time. Given that the profile has picked up a person, what is the probability that the person actually has terrorist ties? Dis-cuss how your answer affects your opinion on domestic wire-tapping.

In August 2010, Massachusetts enacted a 150-day right-to-cure period that mandates that lenders give homeowners who fall behind on their mortgage an extra five months to become current before beginning foreclosure proceedings. Policymakers claimed that the policy would result in a higher proportion of delinquent borrowers becoming current on their mortgages. To test this claim, researchers took a sample of 244 homeowners in danger of foreclosure in the time period surrounding the enactment of this law. Of the 100 who fell behind just before the law was enacted, 30 were able to avoid foreclosure, and of 144 who fell behind just after the law was enacted, 48 were able to avoid foreclosure. Let p1 and p2 represent the proportion of delinquent borrowers who avoid foreclosure just before and just after the right-to-cure law is enacted, respectively. Assuming α = 0.10, does the evidence support the policymakers’ claim?
You have just started a new online greeting card company, “Cool Cards by College Students.” Orders arrive at your web server as a Poisson process at a rate of 25 per minute.

The quality department at an electronics company has noted that, historically, 91% of the units of a specific product pass a test operation, 6% fail the test but are able to be repaired, and 3% fail the test and need to be scrapped. Due to recent process improvements, the quality department would like to test if the rates have changed. A recent sample of 500 parts revealed that 473 parts passed the test, 20 parts failed the test but were repairable, and 7 parts failed the test and were scrapped. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or table)a. Choose the appropriate alternative hypothesis for the test.

Figures obtained from a city’s police department seem to indicate that, of all motor vehicles reported as stolen,64% were stolen by professionals, 36% were stolen by amateurs (primarily for joy rides). Of those stolen byprofessionals, 24% were recovered within 48 hr, 16% were recovered after 48 hr and 60% were never recovered.Of those vehicles presumed stolen by amateurs, 38% were recovered within 48 hr, 58% were recovered after 48 hrand 4% were never recovered. a) Draw a tree diagram representing the situation.b) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen by a professional in this city and will be recovered within 48 hr?c) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen in this city will never be recovered?
